THE BANDS OF MOURNING by Brandon Sanderson

‘The Bands of Mourning’ was a delightful return to the fast-paced, light-hearted style that drew me into this series.

‘Her Name Is Knight’ is an intense thriller that was both heartbreaking and heartwarming, although some aspects fell flat.

‘Shadows of Self’ didn’t quite capture the fast-paced and lighthearted style I loved in the previous book, making it slightly less captivating.

‘The Alloy of Law’ is an impressive pivot from the original Mistborn trilogy, and its light-hearted tone was addictively fun.

With thirty-two speculative stories, ‘Africa Risen’ is a diverse collection that had a mix of hits and misses for me.

‘A Master of Djinn’ delivers a fun blend of fantasy, science fiction, mystery and action in an alternate 1912 Cairo.

Heartbreaking and entertaining, ‘Stay with Me’ explores the painful clash between love and cultural expectations.

‘The City of Brass’ had so much promise, but the drawn-out, confusing execution and numerous YA tropes gradually smothered my interest.
